In this episode, I sit down with Keith Barney of Eighteen Visions and Throwdown to dig into his roots in the Orange County hardcore scene. We kick things off with a look back at his first band, Adamantium, before diving deep into the legacy of Until the Ink Runs Out—a defining album in the Eighteen Visions catalog. We talk about the band’s sound, their evolution over the years, and the wild ride of their career. Whether you’re a fan of metallic hardcore or just love hearing how scenes and sounds come together, this one’s packed with stories you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, my friend Michael and I dive into how much we love the new Callous Daoboys album I Don’t Wanna See You in Heaven. We talk about the wild mix of mathcore chaos and catchy pop sensibility, the clever and emotional lyricism, and the themes that really stuck with us. It’s one of the most exciting heavy records we’ve heard in a while, and we had a blast breaking it all down.

We dive into what it’s really like touring as a small band—living off Little Caesars, crashing on floors, and grinding it out city to city. Jay talks about the hustle behind the scenes, the energy of playing live, and shares his love for drummers like Navene Koperweis and Matt Guglielmo. If you’ve ever wondered what life is like on the road for underground bands, this is the episode for you.
